It’s truly fascinating to step back into the Stone Age, preserved for over 10,000 years. The Arbeia Roman Fort is absolutely worth visiting and the best part is, entry is free! The centre provides maps and signs that bring the stories to life. One big question remains, though: how did people manage to build such incredibly thick stone walls?
Even way up in the north of England the Romans occupied the South Shields area. Building a fort to house soldiers and create a supply chain to try and defeat the Scots. But no dice there... This is a wonderful place for families to enjoy. There's a small museum and then signs for a self guided tour are very informative. Great for locals and tourists.
5 stars for the reconstruction if the Roman gate and barracks. Museum not the biggest but some interesting bits. Plenty of places to picnic. We locked the bikes inside the attraction.nnTip the site closes end of September so check it's open when you plan to visit.
What an interesting place! Free to enter. Museum exhibits to see and fully reconstructed life size Roman buildings to explore. I enjoyed being able to read all of the information around the site about the history. I love that the community is so proud of its history and cared enough to preserve an archaeological site of such importance for the public to see. The lovely ladies working there were very helpful and friendly.
Little Roman gem found in South Shields. Two reconstructed buildings are very well done. Large area, smallish museum and shop. Be sure to donate something as its all free
